The infantrymen will reach Fort
Des Moines on December 21 or 22.

vening between arrival of the two
units will enable the batterymen to
be mustered out before the infantry
troops arrive.

HAPPENINGS IN
THE MAGIC CITY
Records for Receipts of Swine
Bid Fair to Be Broken
at Yards.
OTHER HARKS IN DANGER
With twenty-two days left in the
year 1916, all records were quashed
yesterday, when it was announced
that more head of hogs had been re
ceived at the stock yards since Janu
ary 1 than during the entire year of
1912, the previous record. The figures
show that including Saturday s re
ceipts, 2,890,056 head of hogs have
been received this year. The record
of 1912 for the entire twelve months
shows a total of 2,882.224 head.
Experts at the stock yards predict
an easy margin of 200,000 head over
the high record ot 191.2. mere is
hardly little doubt but what the yards
will make a mark that will be ;hard
to reoeat in vears to come. Condi
tions of prosperity arising from the
war are the Drime causes of the un
loading of this enormous supply of
swine on the market, it is tnougnt
that the Kansas City mark for the
year will be surpassed. At least the
run will be close. 1
Last year the local market led the
world in sheep receipts. A similar
steady rise in sheep receipts has been
noticed av ! it is quite probable that
a near record will be established in
this department. Cattle are also on
the boom, but will hardly outdo the
previous record.

University Student
Hunts Alligators
In the Southland
While it is not customary for uni
versity students to leave school the
middle of the year and go hunting,
Walter Gilbert of the University of
Omaha broke the rule and took a real
hunting trip to Texas. He has just
returned and brought an alligator to
his "frat" brothers.
The young hunter says that as a
whole the weather was too warm for
duck hunting, his particular game. He
went to Houston from Omaha and
then went up the coast as far as the
mouth of the B rasas river, where he
camped for about ten days. Very few
ducks were to be seen, so he decided
to hunt something else. He succeeded
in getting four raccoons. He said that
the hot weather made him yearn for
Nebraska. 1
